A new headphone gadget called SoundBrake has launched on Kickstarter:

SoundBrake allows you to be aware of your environment while listening to headphones. It fits between your headphones and any audio source to temporarily mute your audio when external sound gets louder than an adjustable threshold.
 
Thoughts?

Might be good. Depends on whether or not it introduces noise into the signal path. Notably, they don't seem to provide an specs on the device.
